It's Only A Test

When it comes to being tested,it’s always the little things that seem to get me boiling,I mean steaming hot! Take for instance the commode,it’s been acting crazy for the last 3 or 4 weeks.I don’t own I rent and the landlord is as sweet as can be-still the commode is not working right. I’ve called and he has sent someone to fix it,but he’s not a plumber! I am so mad because I want it fixed right and I want it now! Calming down throughout the night was just at best okay,then not even 3hrs, ago I go into use the thing and it want “Flush” again!!!!! That did it buddy I mean I’m even madder now than I was last night! I lift off the top to stick my hand in to make it “Flush”,all of a sudden water starts to gush up!!! All over my face,my watch and hair,here I stand holding on for dear life so water want go everywhere. I don’t have my phone so I take one hand and raise the window looking for somebody,anybody to yell out Help to.But I see no one I’m standing there wet and mad hot mad,not even thinking about praying.Then I see the guy that’s been sent over several times to fix this dern thing,So I throw a towel in the tank and run to the door,not wanting him to pass on by.Then to my surprise he’s in the yard “whew”,I’m yelling you better get in here water is everywhere!!! I am still mad but trying hard to be kind,I wanted to tear his eye’s out and ask him if he really knew what he was doing! Oh I tell ya life is really a trip,I kept thinking be mad but don’t sin,knowing all the time I’m just a hair away from it.Well I’ve calmed down some but buddy these test are something and that leads to other thoughts and on,& on! Just keep me your sister in prayer,for our trials & tribulations do come to make us strong.But some days you just want a break from these “Test”! I hope you enjoy this and that you have a wonderful day in spite of your trials,I’ll be laughing again soon I’m sure for God did step in and send help even though I didn't ask for it. So it’s fixed,I hope for a long,long time lol.

Trouble

Trouble: A cause or source of distress;affliction,danger or need. Humm there is a lot of that going around and just what if anything should we do. Well there are a lot of things we do that do not work,and worrying is at the top of the list.And following close behind is fear it's amazing how they can buddy up against us! But of course it's been that way since God created this world,and so God has "the" solution. The solution is first of all to be in Relationship with Jesus Christ,for he has already dealt with every kind of Trouble that can come our way,and He defeated it! So we need to as much as possible Keep our minds stayed on Jesus,and to steadily Focus on His word. God's word will give you Peace in the midst of any and all Trouble,because when we stay Focused we'll realize that "Nothing" is "Bigger" or more "Powerful than our "Great Creator God"! Hallelujah God is still in total control no matter what you're going through,God has allowed this for________? You may never fully understand here but you can fully trust God because He knows all of the reasons why we're in Trouble. 1 Peter1:6 So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead,even though it is "necessary" for you to endure many trials for a while.

Dressed And Ready

What a wonderful feeling just knowing you're ready to leave this world when the Lord calls your name,for we that are born again are "Dressed' in the Robe of Righteousness which is Jesus Christ God's Son. And God has already made a way for all to be ready and that's by coming into relationship with Jesus,so that all of your sins will be forgiven and you can have total peace now and forever! There's nothing like knowing Jesus for yourself,it's so good being saved!

Changes

It really doesn't matter what it looks like now, for God will bring about the necessary "Changes in us and in those around us, for God's power is not limited!

James 5:10,11 My brothers,remember the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Take them as examples of patient endurance under suffering. We call them happy because they endured. You have heard of Job's patience, and you know how the Lord provided for him in the end. for the Lord is full of mercy and compassion. It's not over until God says so,God is faithful and he has always been faithful! So in the midst of our suffering God has a plan,even though we cannot see it all we must continue trusting in God.



With so much going on to turn us around I'm just wanting to "Encourage" all my sisters & brothers to hold on & keep your faith in God.

Your Heart and Your Mind

It's amazing how much our thoughts have to do with our actions that's why it's important to renew our minds daily in the word of God,for it should be our highest desires to please God.While we let our minds wonder the enemy(flesh) has a chance to get us following after the things it desire,instead of all God desires and therefore we find ourselves giving into things that will only hurt us or others. But just saying or thinking a thing is not good enough,we must go farther by yielding to the Holy Spirit for it is he that has the power to change us.And the Spirit of God uses what's in us  to help us stand when the attacks come.Philippians 4:5~7 Show a gentle attitude toward all.The Lord is coming soon. Don't worry about anything but in all your prayers ask God for what you need  
always asking him with a thankful heart. And God's peace which is far beyond human understanding will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus.
Especially as we see the day of our Saviours return approaching we must pray for God to help us cling to Jesus as never before and stay rooted in the word.

What A Mighty God!

My God,My God how can I survive all this? How am I suppose to make it through all of these things coming at me and I can't even see and end in sight? When you don't know what to do, you should know where to run to the Rock of your Salvation what a mighty God he is! To hold me and keep me steady when I just want to give up he is full of understanding and keeping power! No matter how bad things get when I look at Job 1:6~22 and I see how much he lost and continued to praise and acknowledge God how can I do any thing less.I will keep my trust in God like Habakkuk even though all I'm used to having I seem to be losing yet will I praise God and keep my trust in him. How I thank God for being saved in times like these and for his promises that are true to sustain me. I came naked from my mother's womb and I will be stripped of everything when I die. The Lord gave me everything I had and the Lord has taken it away.Blessed be the name of the Lord.( Job 1:21)
Even when Habakkuk lost all his means of survival he said: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation.The Sovereign Lord is my strength ( Habakkuk 3:18). God is still the answer for us today through his Son Jesus Christ. Hallelujah,Hallelujah

Tall Orders

Philippians 2:14~16 Do all things without complaining and disputing,that you may become blameless and harmless,children of God without fault in the midst of a croooked and perverse generation,among whom you shine as lights in the world,holding fast the word of life,so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain. These scriptures seem hard to keep but God has assured us that all is possible through Him, and I pray that God will draw us ever close to Him and help us walk in this newness of life that Jesus Christ has given us by His presence in us. To God be all the Glory for all he has done and is doing through Jesus Christ our great Saviour.

Trusting in Hard Places

There are so many different circumstances that will throw us for a loop,even when we claim to be strong. when we've just came through a major storm and feel surely I'm stronger now just to have your lights cut off or the savings you thought you could fall back on wiped out within moments,and then your job you've depended on for years is just days away from being gone.All of these things and more can cause a very big panic attack the kind that just does not want to move,and you can feel yourself sliding down into depression and their is no one you feel you can call on for they are facing similar situations.But God is always aware of where we are and of the hard places we are in so run to Him by getting in God's word, for as we get our minds back on Him the pain eases,then as we began to Praise God for who He is our focus will help us to put all our trust in Him for God said he will cause all these things to work together for our good Romans 8:28 I thank God for always being there for us and even though He does not do things the way we want Him to,He will help us to understand His way of doing things,which is best for us.

Let's keep our trust in the God who knows and loves us!

Where was Adam?

Yesterday while viewing different questions I came across one that really stuck with me:Where was Adam when Eve sinned? So I left my computer to do some thinking and praying.But God does not always give me answers right away,but He does always answer.So first thing this morning I heard His Spirit speaking:Adam was there because the two were now one,like the Trinity Father,Son & Holy Spirit.God is so awesome and the way He sees things we really cannot even grasp them unless the Holy Spirit gives us light.That's where a lot of unbelievers get confused trying to understand God's word with there carnal minds,and because it makes no sense to them it cannot be true.The truth is as God's word says it is and You must accept it by Faith otherwise you will start to make up whatever you think is right or fall into the lies of others.That's why I believe there are so many confused people in the world,you know Jesus is Real but you don't want to Bow down because of change.But change is good especially with Jesus as your Saviour because He will help you to change with nudges or (like with me bricks) but it's all good because He is the "Greatest Comforter" so you can't lose with Jesus He is the "Best". And as you grow God will open His word up to an even greater degree.
I will continue to pray for the unsaved for knowing Jesus is very important,and for my Sister's and Brother's as well as for myself for we all have room for more growth. I am new to Bloging and I am enjoying this.

Where Is Your Gain?

What shall it profit you to have: All the name brand shoes the biggest house on the block,the highest honors a man can earn the best this world has to offer? Then die and lose your soul what are you willing to except  In exchange for your immortal soul.Some people are packing up all they can and others are trying anything to live here as long as possible-and why?Because you know after death comes the Judgement and second death.And yet you continue to reject Jesus Christ as your Saviour  Jesus Christ is Still the only way to God.  John 12:48 And death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire this is the second death the lake of fire. And any ones name who was not found in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:14~15 Jesus said I am the way,the truth,and the lifeno man can come unto Father except by me. John 14:6 Why do you choose death? When Jesus Christ has paid in full all God requires,for all of your sins to be forgiven and to have eternal life. Romans 10:9 explains what's needed for salvation -Then receive this "Great" promise just one of many 1 John 5:11~13 Please know Jesus Christ is "Great Gain" now and in the future he will never leave you.God's love for you is great but you have a choice?

What am I to do?

There is so much going on today and we are being pushed to the max.Family member's can cause heartache's that run deep,and it just makes matters worse when they are saved.Today I am so torn with pain and on days like this I must Praise God and try my best not to be angry.Even though I know God is causing all these things to work together for my good,it's still so hard not to lash out at those that are causing my pain!But what else can I do when it feels that even God don't hear me? I know that God cares and loves me,but today "This Thing" is hard to handle, and as I write I feel my spirit calming down thank God for his Spirit.Yes Lord All things are in your hands and if I could not handle what I'm going through,you would not Allow me to affected by it.God just helped me just like He said He is a very present help in our times of trouble.How I praise God for his help right now! Hallelujah,I mean I was hot mad,but God he is so wonderful and always willing to help us through All these hard places we are going through, Habakkuk 3:17 ~Isaiah 43:1 God is with us through it all. May the Lord bless you also and comfort you.
